Armpit hair is a problem that almost all adults have to deal with and it is particularly problematic for women. This hair growth begins around puberty and the growth may be very thick or patchy. Armpit hair removal is a part of life for women in most parts of the world and is also being adopted increasingly by males. Some people may also need to go in for armpit hair removal because of sweat gland problems. Armpit hair helps reduce friction between your upper inside arm against the side of your body. Since women predominantly remove their underarm hair, most hair removal products target and are marketed towards them. There are a variety of methods that can be used for armpit hair removal from hairy underarms with razors, gels, creams and natural remedies.
- Shaving is the most widespread method of hair removal. You can either use an electric razor or a wet razor. If you chose to use a razor try to shave your underarm hair after having a hot shower or do so while having a shower itself. Having a shower will help as it will soften the underarm hair, making shaving easier. It is also advisable that you use shaving gels or creams to avoid getting razor burn, which can be quite discomforting. You can also use shampoo as an alternative to shaving creams or gels, but make sure that you wash thoroughly as shampoos are prone to residue. While the advantage is that it is a cheap method of hair removal the disadvantage is that you will have to do this quite frequently. If you have never used a razor however, then this might not be the best method of hair removal for you.
- There are also armpit hair removal creams or depilatories that are available at most stores. You can use these as another inexpensive hair removal option if you are worried about using a razor.
- Waxing is another option that leaves no stubble in the follicles which means that your hair takes longer to grow back, but using this method of hair removal for the armpits can be particularly painful.
- Laser hair removal is quite painless but is also the most expensive method and can last several months. In the long run however it could work out cheaper.
- There are a variety of hair removal tools and devices that are available today, increasing your options of hair removal at home. These include epilators, electrolysis devices, electric hair removal pads and modern or electric tweezers.
